Construction at Energy Works power plant in east Hull.

The £200m scheme is currently the largest development being built in the Humber region, and was designed and developed by Hull-based engineering firm Spencer Group.

The facility will convert domestic and commercial waste into electricity through a process known as “fluidised bed gasification”. Once operational, it will generate enough electricity to power 43,000 homes, and will divert about 250,000 tonnes of waste from landfill each year.
